I just solved this yesterday on my box.
If you get a "Connection closed by xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" message when using
ssh to connect to a Cygwin sshd server, and/or the event log on the
server machine contains the error "sshd: PID XXXX: fatal: seteuid YYYYY:
Permission denied", the user account that sshd is running under probably
does not have the "Create a token object" right.
Note that if the account does not have this right, it probably doen't
have other important rights as well. These rights are normally setup by
the ssh-host-config script for the sshd_server user.
